Hi,
I just thought with the holidays fast approaching we could share our favorite fudge recipes. They don't have to be on a recipe card, you can just type them into your post but if you do want to 'scrap' them, then post the gallery link here that would work too.

Argh, I can feel the pounds piling on already LOL!!!! Any diet versions out there roflmho!!!
But Seriously, Jan super cool idea!! That's going to get us in the christmas spirit and start getting those extra presents made!!

Mix chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl at medium heat until melted. Stir to melt in any remaining lumps. Add nuts, brandy and vanilla. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the nuts bind with the fudge. Smooth it all out onto a piece of wax paper. Refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour. Cut into squares.

You can get different results using different types of chips. The better the chips, the better your fudge. We like to sometimes used dark chocolate chips. And I've substituted other liqueurs (like Kahlua) for Grand Marnier if it wasn't easily accessable (i.e. I was too lazy to get a stool or chair to reach it at the back of the cabinet.)

ok now your talking down my alley here. I love fudge. I have request for it during the holidays for family members for them and then make some to bring when we all have Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner.
Here's mine

Okay, I have an awesome fudge recipe that I found a few years back on the Taste of Home website! It was an instant hit & everyone begs me to make it every year now! :p Something different than all the "chocolate" varieties!

Line a 9" square pan with foil. Grease the foil with the 1 1/2 tsp softened butter. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, sour cream & remaining butter. Cook & stir over med. heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil and cook & stir about 5 min. until it gets to the soft-ball stage (candy thermometer reads 234°). Remove from heat, stir in white chocolate & marshmallow creme until melted. Fold in peppermint candy & extract. Pour into prepared pan and chill until firm. Use foil to lift fudge from pan, peel foil away from fudge & cut into squares. Yields 2 pounds of fudge!

It's soooo delicious & light! And it's only 40 calories & 1 gram of fat per 1" square!! I love peppermint around the holidays!! And, just to let you know, I never use a candy thermometer... I don't even know what it is!! LOL! I just eyeball it! My only suggestion is to really crush up that peppermint candy (I used a ziploc baggie & rolling pin!), it's no fun biting into a big chunk of hard candy in the soft fudge! :p

Last year my Aunt got a fondue maker for Christmas, one of those fountain thingy's, and had the chocolate fondue going when we got there. So we dipped this fudge in the fondue and O - M - G!!! It was soooo delicious! I had made 6 pounds of fudge (very large family!) and it was all gone in about a half hour! LOL! The fudge is so light it doesn't really make your stomach sick if you eat too much! hahaha... :p

These all sound great! Thanks so much for sharing. My boys have a youth league bowling holiday bake sale coming up and last year fudge was a big hit, so I'm gonna try some of these recipes out for that.
Happy Holidays!

In a large pan melt the butter. Add the cheese pieces and mix until melted together. Turn off heat. Stir in cocoa until smooth; add vanilla. With a very heavy spoon or a heavy duty mixer, stir in the powered sugar a little at a time. Add nuts if desired; pour into buttered pan (recipe says 3 pie pans). Refrigerate overnight for best results. Makes 6lbs.

Re: Share Your Favorite Fudge Recipe

I lurve chocolate my dear, its right up there with heaven and high heels BUT I only really like regular fudge and I wanna make some so I can feast late into the night while I'm all alone in the dark playing in my PS where no one can see me stuff my face OR try to steal it from me hehe so send in the recipes, just omit the peanut butter and other stuff

I have some recipe's for fudge, but I've never tried them... I'm too scared! lol My Mom actually makes this awesome Peppermint fudge around the holiday's that I LOVE! It's white chocolate & finely crushed up candy canes (so fine it's like mint-dust) and they are heavenly! But, I am a disaster in the Kitchen, I guess my Easy Bake Oven didn't count when I was younger! I can bake w/ no problem, but when it comes to using those things on top of the stove, I'm a bloomin' idiot! And there you have it!
